In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a proxy application on a first computing device, a request from a first application on the first computing device to access a resource. The method further includes transmitting, from the proxy application on the first computing device, a modified version of the request to a proxy application on a second computing device and receiving, from the proxy application on the second computing device, a response comprising data from the requested resource, where the resource is on the second computing device. The method further includes transmitting, to the first application on the first computing device, a response satisfying the first application's request to access the resource.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the request comprises an intent object.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the modified request comprises a security check to determine whether the first computing device has permission to access the resource on the second computing device.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprises creating one or more policies determining whether to route a request from an application on the first computing device to the proxy application on the first computing device.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing, in response to receiving the request from the first application, a UI on the first device identifying the request and one or more second computing devices to which the request may be transmitted.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating, on the first computing device, a uniform-resource identifier (URI) identifying a location on the first computing device at which to store at least part of the response.
10. The system of claim 8, wherein the request comprises an intent object.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the modified request comprises a security check to determine whether the first computing device has permission to access the resource on the second computing device.
12. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the instructions to create one or more policies determining whether to route a request from an application on the first computing device to the proxy application on the first computing device.
13. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the instructions to provide, in response to receiving the request from the first application, a UI on the first device identifying the request and one or more second computing devices to which the request may be transmitted.
14. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the instructions to create, on the first computing device, a uniform-resource identifier (URI) identifying a location on the first computing device at which to store at least part of the response.
17. The media of claim 15, wherein the request comprises an intent object.
18. The media of claim 15, wherein the modified request comprises a security check to determine whether the first computing device has permission to access the resource on the second computing device.
19. The media of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the instructions to create one or more policies determining whether to route a request from an application on the first computing device to the proxy application on the first computing device.
20. The media of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors are further operable to execute the instructions to provide, in response to receiving the request from the first application, a UI on the first device identifying the request and one or more second computing devices to which the request may be transmitted.
